Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stream the episode last night, but I can’t wait to get the chance to watch it.

Obviously, I’m a huge “Parks and Rec” fan, and it’s pretty damn cool the cast filmed a virtual episode for a great cause.

Fans got to watch a new episode, and millions of dollars were raised to help those in need during the pandemic. It doesn’t get much better than that.

It’s been really cool watching so many different groups of people come together to help in whatever ways they can.

Chris Pratt, Aziz Ansari and Nick Offerman all returned last night. If that’s not awesome, then I don’t know what is.
